Konami is a street dance that enjoys great popularity in the Ivory Coast and stands for the combination of football and Coupé Décalé. With a piece about this unique dance, the two Ivorian dancers Ordinateur and Annick Chocco from the transnational ensemble La Fleur came back to Palermo for the third time. Together with a group of local dancers, with whom they began developing the piece the year before, they presented a brilliant performance about football, dance and showbiz and the entanglements of power, money and corruption. 

In this play, La Fleur told the story of cultural transfer and migration between Africa and Europe. The ensemble gathered impressions at 2023 Africa Cup in the Ivory Coast and spoke to young Africans in Abidjan, Palermo, Frankfurt and Lyon who wanted to pursue a professional football career. The performers Annick Choco, Ordinateur and the musician Timor Litzenberger, directed by Monika Gintersdorfer, reported on how the dream of success and fame fuelled by pop culture encourages young players to make the journey to Europe, where clubs pay higher wages. They talked about footballers, dancers and musicians who help each other gain more visibility by showing each other at performances or by a singer praising the qualities of a footballer in a song or vocal animation. Through a series of dances, songs and videos they gave insights into the reality of life of young African professional footballers between the continents.
